Color differences in video files once they are embedded in Storyline
Hello Articulate Community,
Does anyone have a fix for the color issues that appear when a video file gets inserted into a Storyline slide? When I view the video file on its own in a browser or media player, the color looks significantly different to how it looks when I either preview the video within Storyline or view it in a published Storyline module. I have tried turning the compression off for the video in Storyline and that doesn't seem to make a noticeable difference. Anyone else run into this issue?
I have made a small video direct with ffmpeg
ffmpeg -f lavfi -i color=#556b2f:1280x720:d=10,format=yuv420p test-yuv420p-556b2f.mp4the result of the color rendering is very interesting
source: background-color #556b2f
playback in VLC: #566a30
playback direct in Chrome: #53662f
playback direct in Firefox: #566a30 (same as VLC)
Storyline -> video: "compress none"
Storyline Authoring: #54652c (.NET ???)
Storyline Preview (integrated Chrome): #53662f
Storyline Publish to Web (view with Chrome): #53662f
Storyline Publish to Web (view with Firefox): #566a30 (same as VLC)=> VLC and Firefox are identical, Chrome is complete different
the same for a png (no color profile)
